1 Adaptive Equipment problem of the 2014 BMW X5

Failure Date: 06/19/2014

This happened to me while driving a brand new 2014 BMW X5 on 3 separate occasions (different days) the drivers door and the left rear passenger door both opened while driving. The door will open to the point that I can hear the wind coming through the door. I get a sign on the dash board that the door is open, interior lights goes on, however, without the audible sound to warn that a door is open. If I try to pull on the door to close it, it will not close unless I completely open the door and slam it shut. If I try to push the door to open it without pulling the handle it would not open either. I took my car to my local BMW local dealership after the second time it happened and they took it in to check: the electrical wiring on the doors, the locks and finally reprogrammed the car. Three days later the same issue happened on the driver passenger door while I was driving and as I was turning. I felt the door moving as it opened, got the visible display that the door opened however without the audible alarm again. The door locks I have have the automatic suction door shutting system and the door locks automatically engage as soon as I drive off.

Car suffers from terrible hesitation upon acceleration from a rolling stop. Described as tip-in on discussion websites. I note many have complained of this in various BMW models and BMW does not admit that there is a problem. It is a significant safety issue.
